There's a roller derby event on Sunday 1/20 i'm definitely going to. If nothing else, Mary Alice may be there. She's a rollergirl.

This is fabulous*. My friend works at a church and she's worried that there might be a business meeting that night (which she can't skip, as staff), but was afraid I'd be so bored I'd stick a pen in my eye or something. Roller Derby might be slightly more interesting...

*as ideas go. Will have to see logistically...

Don't suppose Secret Crush Society's got a gig anywhere in there? I'd love to see you guys.

Oh, and insent, lisah. No particular content, just letting you know not to spam filter me.

OMG 2.5 hour lunch. I never do that. I'm lucky if I take my usual 30 minutes. And alcohol. And nummy creme brule. Stuffed. So stuffed. And now work. Something is wrong with this picture.

You're right, something is wrong. Why weren't we invited?

Remember how I was moaning about all the nights I had to work right before the holidays? Well I got a "Spotlight Award" worth $250 for my effort!! Awesome!

That's great, Gloomcookie! I love those. They call them Spot Awards here.

They call them "Extra Money? Shyeah, right." here.

I say it's "worth" $250 cause they don't give you cash. Instead, you get to expense $250 worth of a service (like a meal, spa visit, tickets). It has to be a service, too - nothing tangible. Interesting, but gladly accepted!

Man, I hate it when the East-Coasters are commuting home and/or eating their dinners. C'mon, I'm stuck covering phones, entertain me!

An irishman is driving when he gets pulled over

the cop says, "Hey Paddy, did you realize your wife fell out of the car a mile back?"

And Paddy says...

"Oh thank Christ! I thought I'd gone deaf!"
